Praise for “for the meantime”:

Canadian Puddington bears the hallmarks of talent…[T}his one grabbed me... His voice has the bruised caring quality that Damien Jurado has, a perfect voice for narrating misfortune, the songs also have the matter-of-fact devotional quality...[Y]ou’d do well to tuck in to some Puddington.”
- David Cowling, www.americana-uk.com

“Exceptional roots music (or is it canadianacana) is still finding it’s way down from Canada and the long tradition continues with Adam Puddington. Strong songs are his calling card, sung in a weathered voice with rootsy backup… Occasionally reminiscent of the roots pop of Blue Rodeo or rainy day sounds of Gordon Lightfoot, I find this evocative disc spending a lot of time in my cd player, well beyond the few “review listens” most cds warrant. It’s the kind of music that gets in your bones, like a good story or a cold chill.” (4&1/2 stars)

“…there are actual stories intertwined with the lyrical landscapes. And although he’s backed competently by cats from the Guthries, who add plenty of clean electric guitars and rolling drums, Puddington’s songs sound born of a solitary man, his old reliable guitar and the still country night.”
- Jason Richards, Now Magazine June 8 - 14, 2006. Vol. 25

“[T]he poetic Puddington … lean[s] towards folk and Canadiana on his latest disc, offering a refreshing roots record. Filled with succinct and pleasing songwriting, For the Meantime is a captivating collection of 11 songs that grow on you with each subsequent listening session. …[T]he songs that make up this finely crafted collection are sure to give the folk singer wider acclaim.”
- David McPherson, Exclaim!, April, 2006

”Adam Puddington’s country songs bleed maple syrup and capture the feeling of Canadiana as if Puddington is fulfilling the life journey of Gordon Lightfoot. His country tales are full of energy… The listener is instantly trapped in Puddington’s melodies and they stick with you.”
- Adam Anklewicz, Being There (www.beingtheremag.com)

“Puddington’s strong songwriting is at the heart of the resulting disc’s 11 songs. His lyrics work equally to progress plots and slide into melodious hooks with an admirable ease. Combining excitement and honesty, his songs hold a coveted familiarity that sits at the core of the best of country music.”
- Matt Charlton, The Coast, Nov, 2005

“This understated 11-song release is simply one of the best albums I’ve heard all year. It has gorgeously moody, [and] bulletproof songs…Puddington crafts solid songs in the fertile ground between folk, rock and country. They sound burnished and familiar straight out of the box. [T]his album breathes with seductive energy. One of the outstanding tracks is Deer in the Headlights, a straight-ahead four chord tune washed in shimmering guitars and Puddington’s skillful wordplay. 4/5 stars.”
- Sandy MacDonald, The Daily News, 2005
